Word Counter

Count text for writing limits

Word and character limits show up everywhere: meta descriptions, social posts, essays, abstracts, product listings, application forms, and editorial briefs. This counter updates as you type so you can keep a draft within the required length without leaving the page.

The tool counts words, total characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading time.

Useful checks

• Keep a meta description or short bio within a character limit.
• Estimate reading time for an article introduction or newsletter draft.
• Check paragraph count before submitting a short answer or abstract.
